Black-Eyed Pea Loaf

By Diana Rattray, About.com

Recipe for a black-eyed pea loaf made with cooked black-eyed peas, oats, corn meal, onions, and vegetable stock.

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste
  • 2 cups cooked black-eyed peas, drained
  • 1/4 cup uncooked rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup yellow corn meal
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper, white or black

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add the onion; sauté until the onion is tender and golden. Add the curry powder and stir 1 or 2 minutes more. Add the black-eyed peas, rolled oats, cornmeal, and broth; stir well.

Turn the black-eyed pea mixture into the prepared loaf pan; bake for 45 minutes, or until the oats and cornmeal are cooked and have absorbed all the liquid. The consistency should be that of a very thick mush. Stir in salt and pepper to taste and press the mixture firmly in the pan.

Let the loaf cool; chill thoroughly in refrigerator. Turn loaf out of pan; cut into slices. Eat cold or fry in butter.
Serves 6.
